What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Callanafersy West. A round earthen ring, old enough to predate every written name, still holds its shape against the sky. People called it a fairy fort because the darkness inside refused explanation, not because they believed in witches. It is a boundary marker made of soil, waiting for someone stubborn enough to sit with it until it answers.
